Guardian LP or Natural Gas Heater
8
9. The hose assembly shall be visually inspected on
an annual basis. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the heater being put into opera-
tion. The hose assembly shall be protected from
animals, building materials, and contact with hot
surfaces during use. The hose assembly shall be
that specifi ed by the manufacturer. See parts list.
10. Check for gas leaks and proper function upon
heater installation, before building repopulation
or when relocating.
11. This heater should be inspected for proper
operation by a qualifi ed service person before
building repopulation and at least annually.
12. Always turn off the gas supply to the heater if the
heater is not going to be used in the heating of
livestock.
13. This heater is wired with a ground connection for
your protection against electrical shock hazard. It
may or may not be equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug. Regardless of heater model,
the heater must be connected directly to a
properly wired and grounded electrical supply.
Failure to use a properly grounded electrical
supply can result in electrical shock, personal
injury, or death.
14. Direct ignition heaters will make up to three trials
for ignition. If ignition is not achieved, the control
system will lock out the gas control valve. If gas
is smelled after system lock out has occurred,
immediately close all fuel supply valves. Do not
relight until you are sure that all gas that may
have accumulated has cleared away. In any
event, do not relight for at least 5 minutes.
15. In a hanging type installation, rigid pipe or
copper tubing coupled directly to the heater may
cause gas leaks during movement, and therefore
must not be used. Use only gas hose assemblies
that are rated and approved for L.P. gas and
natural gas in a hanging type of installation.
16. Installations not using the gas hose supplied with
this appliance must connect dimensionally using
American National Standard Wrought Steel and
Wrought Iron Pipe B36/10-1970. (Aluminum
piping or tubing shall not be used.) Copper tub-
ing when used for conveying natural gas, shall
be internally tinned or equivalently treated to
resist sulphur.
